Sharla
Feldscher
Sharla Feldscher is an author, former
teacher, public relations professional and, above
all, an advocate for children. Her own children
are now adults but the joy of raising them and
doing work to support young people is her greatest
reward. To Sharla, the most important thing parents
can do is share joy with their children –
to talk and listen to each other, to giggle together,
to "play," and above all, respect one
another. With this as a foundation, there will
surely be a basis of love to last a lifetime.
The author of six books of creative activities
for children, Sharla owns her own public relations
firm – SFPR – based in Philadelphia.
She began the business in 1984 with Sesame Place
as her first account. She says with a smile, "Big
Bird was my first client!" Sesame Place,
the nation's only theme park based on the award-winning
television show Sesame Street, is still a client
today.
Sharla‚s early work in public relations,
marketing and the media was inspired by her teaching
experience in Philadelphia. Her love of children
led her to write numerous books for teachers and
parents, including two KIDFUN® Activity Books
(HarperCollins) that were translated into German
and Russian. She wrote and edited columns for
and by kids in the Philadelphia Daily News for
seven years, the Jewish Exponent, the Phillies
and she had regular features on KYW Newsradio
for two years.In her transition to the public
relations field, Sharla drew on her expertise
as an educator, serving as Director of Public
Affairs for Please Touch Museum, where she helped
bring the children's museum to prominence. www.sf-pr.com |
